  Cause:
  This error occurs during the deletion of a Web Dynpro component or application when the system tries to delete associated programming exits (such as methods, event handlers, or implementations) but fails to do so. Programming exits are custom code elements linked to the Web Dynpro component, and if they are still referenced or locked, the system cannot delete them automatically.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The programming exits are still in use or referenced elsewhere.  
  The exits are locked by another user or transport request.  
  Incomplete or inconsistent object status in the repository.  
  Insufficient authorizations to delete the programming exits.  
  Transport layer or object lock issues.
